Rated “Arrgh!”
I’m sick and tired of going to restricted movies and seeing little kids there. I saw Snakes on a Plane last night and when I was walking out I saw a 10-year-old. This movie had nudity, lots of swearing and it was very violent. I always feel uncomfortable

I agree with you. I even feel guilty laughing at an adult joke if a child is around. The worst case of this I ever saw was a child watching 8mm. Not sure if you remember that movie but it was about a snuff film….What is wrong with some parnets?
Snakes on a Plane is actually only 14AA.
what were you doing watching that shitty ass movie n-e-way.
i totally agree with the original poster. of course you have people like “But I still get what you’re saying” making a stupid fucking comment like that. they’re the type of person who’d think “gee…since it’s only rated 14AA it should be ok to bring my kid to”. the poster never said that Snakes on a Plane was restricted you fuckhead. what people don’t realize is that even movies that are rated “adult” sometimes are too much for children.
Yeah, I went to see “House of 1,000 Corpses” when it came out with a bunch of friends, and saw a family there that included a mother, father and their two very young children. It was weird. And that movie was beyond rated R too. It was pretty brutal, and I still shake my head at the fact that these parents brought their two young children, who couldn’t even watch the movie without their hands covering their faces. How did they even get into that movie? Bizarre! Personally, that’s not what I would call a nice family outing. Pretty f**ked.
I agree with the comment of parents learning the moving rating, but then again, what about the person issuing the tickets? Ive seen pre teens in “adult” movies with no parent/gaurdain
Maybe Hollywood really can sell ice to eskimos. I can’t understand people actually paying to see the crap that comes out of the N.A. movie industry. That 9/11 movie was a really good example of how cheap and inconsiderate Hollywood really is. I can just image the DISDAIN felt by the families upon the release of that exploitive piece of garbage. The industry thrives on the naivite of the ill-informed masses. Ugh!
Well since we have transferred over to another bitch altogeher, let me just comment on what was said about the 911 movie for a moment. I saw this movie and it was EXTREMELY tasteful and well done. I am going out on a limb here and assuming that you did not see it. The movie did not focus so much on the event in question, but it served as a tribute to all the brave firefighters and policemen that died in the tragedy. The spotlight was put on 2 policemen in particular and it showed us what they lived through on that day and gave us all some insight into why these people are heros. It showed us their lives, and the effect this event had on their families. The movie in no way served to exploit what happened, but to pay tribute to those that died trying to help. The movie received high praise from the families upon preliminary viewing of the movie before it was released. So if the familes of those affected are ok with the movie, then shouldn’t you be as well? Or at least see the movie before making any kind of judgement call otherwise!
Cmoplain to the theatre manager the snotnosed kids on the counter dont know it but it is illegal to sell an admission for and adult pic to little kids parents or not if its rated R they are not allowed in
The worst I have ever seen was I went to Little Miss Sunshine and in walked two women with fucking newborns, don’t you think theatres are a little loud for their ears? As well it is inconsiderate that I had to pay 10.50 to listen to newborn crying, they also brought their four year old, come on people the 20 dollars you spent on snacks could have paid for a babysitter!
so we should shelter children from the truth?, the reality of our world? so that when it hits them in the face later in life they can appreciate it more?, censorship is fucking nonsense, you want to make the world a better place, protest war, fight for the environment, teach and be a good example…don’t lie, stop the fairytales too, santa, easter buny etc
